Perchta - D'Muata - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Vinyl LP pressing. The breakout success of 2016's Puberty 2 saw Mitski hailed as the new vanguard of indie rock, the one to save the genre from the white dudes who've historically dominated it. But the often overlooked aspect of being a rising star is the sheer amount of work that goes into it. InchI had been on the road for a long time, which is so isolating, and had to run my own business at the same time,Inch Mitski explains, Incha lot of this record was me not having any feelings, being completely spent, but then trying to rally myself and wake up and get back to Mitski. I was feeling really nihilistic and trying to make pop songs.Inch

Double vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. 2017 debut album from classically-trained French artist Petit Biscuit. Recorded over the course of the past year, Petit Biscuit - AKA Mehdi Benjelloun - wrote, produced and mixed Presence completely independently, finding time between high school exams and sold out tours across the U. S., Europe and beyond. The album is his complete creative vision, and includes contributions from Lido, Bipolar Sunshine and Panama. The album was mastered by legendary engineer Chab (Daft Punk, Air, Sebastien Tellier) in a nod to the forefathers of French dance music. Presence is the first new music from Petit Biscuit since the of his debut EP featuring smash hit InchSunset Lover,Inch released in 2015 when he was only 15 and streamed more than 350 million times to date. Petit Biscuit plays piano, guitar, cello and more, and began experimenting with electronics to form his signature sound at age 11. Presence is heavily informed by his schooling, combining acoustic elements with innovative electronic production and his trademark vocal manipulations.

With Perchta's second full-length entitled InchD'MuataInch, which translates from her Alpine Austrian dialect to English as InchThe MotherInch, mastermind and vocalist Frau Percht and her band have created a feminist manifesto within a folklore influenced black metal context. Femininity in all it's facets is a rather niche topic in this genre although it is an inseparable part of everything human and the natural world around us. Taking their name from an alleged pagan goddess, Perchta were conceived in Austria in 2017 with an aim to preserve and rejuvenate regional traditions. Three years later, Perchta released their debut album InchUfangInch, which established the band's reputation as a highly individualistic and unique act. All lyrics of the entire album are intoned in the Tyrolean vernacular. The words are shrouded in a tempest of tremolo guitars and ritualistic folk with bone-piercing extreme vocals on top. Now the black witch of the Tyrolean mountains and her pack return with a magical new album.
